WINDOW.

Application led July 17, 1913, Serial No. 779,458. 'Renewed April 14, 1915. Serial No. 21,457.

movable laterally relatively to the verticaly members of the sash, to lool; the sash against turning, or to permit its turning, the said locking elements constituting weather strips.

It is a design of my invention to provide a novel arrangement of the combined loclring and weather strips, and a novel arrangement of the pivots on which the sashes turn.

It is also a design of the invention to simplify the construction of windows of the indicated character, and to promote economy of manufacture and simplicity of adjustment and operation.

The invention will be particularly eX- plained in the specific description following.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part o-f this specifi cation, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the V'leVS.

Figure 1 is a transverse vertical section of a window embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary vertical section on a larger scale, the section being taken at right angles to Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the frame and lower sash.

ln constructing a window in accordance with my invention, upper and lower sashcs 10, 11, are provided, and a window frame 12 corresponding in general features with known constructions. The sashes are of a width to fit between the opposed stops 13 formed on or secured to the stiles 14 of a window frame so as to be capable of turning on a horizontal axis.

Flach sash is mounted to turn on two opposite lateral pivot pins 15, which are movable axially in pockets 1G of the side members of the sash. The pivots are fixedly secured to vertical locking strips 17 with which the sash chains or cords 18 areconnected. The connections of the chains 18 with the locking strips may be effected by hooks 17a on said strips. The chains run over the usual' pulleys 19. rlhe stops 13 are formed with vertical slots 20 for the respective strips, and said slots are made narrow, the strips 17 being' made correspondingly thin. At the back of the stops 13 vertical slots 21v complementary to the slots 20 are produced, and similarly, vertical slots 22 are produced in the sash in alinement with the slots 2O and 21.

Frovision is made for sliding the pins 15 axially, in order to locate the locking strips A17 in aposition engaging the slot 21, 20, 22,

of the respective stop and sash, and to eX- tend across the joint between 'the same, thereby locking the sash against turning movement on the pivot pins, or for giving a reverse movement to the pins to carry the locking strips outwardly out of engagement with the sash, to lie within the faces of the stops.

lt is to be noted that the stop pins are fixed on the locking strips, and that the sash turns about said pins. 1 provide a novel i-oans on the sash engaging the pins to shift the same, said means being of a character to turn with the shaft relatively to the non-rotating pins. For the purpose mentioned, I form annular ribs 241 on the pins with intervening annular grooves, and a pinion or toothed head 25 is mounted on a spindle 26, in a position for the teeth of the pinion to engage the annular ribs on the pivot pin. A pinion 25 is provided for each pivot pin, and the spindles 26 thereof extend from a face of the sash and are provided at the outer ends with heads or wings 27, for the convenient turning of the spindle, the heads being received in countersunk escutcheons 28.

By the described construction, the turning of the spindles in one direction will move the pins 15 outwardly, and with them the locking strips 17, moving the latter out of the slots 22 of the sash, the slots 20, 21, in the stops 13 and stiles 14:, accommodating the strips in the inner position within the faces of the stops 13. l/Vith the locking bars in the outer position, the sashes may be turned about the fixed pivots 15, it being noted that the teeth of the pinion when the sash is turned follow around the pivot pins, between the annular ribs thereof. By turning the spindles 26 in the reverse direction, the locking strips 17 are moved toward each Patented Aug. 3, 1915.

other and into engageinent with the sashes, being received in the slotsl 22 of the latter,

in which position the strips range across the n joint between thesash and stops, and conv stitute effective' weather strips.

To accommodate the chain 18, I form the stops 13 and stiles 14 with lateral enlargements a,-21a,of the slots 20, 21. The en-y largelnents 20?k do not extend to the faces of the stops 13, only the slots 20 being continued through the face of the stops. There are formed, however, along the slots 20, circular recesses 28 complelnentary'to the said slots, toperniit of the pins 15 being moved axially at the points atwhich it is desired to have the sashes turn on their axes.

Having thus described my invention, ,I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

In a window, a frame having yvertical slotsy and stiles, a sashhaving vertical slots inthe Copies of thiskpatent may be obtained for side edges alined with the 'slots of thestiles, vertical strips movable laterally to a kposition engaging'both the sash and stiles, orto a position disengaged from the sash and within the faces of the stiles, pivot pins ixedly secured to the strips, the said sash Witnesses: A Y NATHANIEL F.
